elektriväljades

Elektriväljades refers to the concept of electric fields in Estonian. An electric field is a region around an electrically charged object where another charged object would experience a force. This force can be attractive or repulsive, depending on the signs of the charges involved. The strength and direction of the electric field are often visualized using electric field lines, which emanate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges. The density of these lines indicates the strength of the field.

Electric fields are fundamental to understanding many electrical phenomena, including the behavior of static electricity, the operation of electronic devices, and the transmission of electromagnetic waves. The strength of an electric field is measured in units of volts per meter (V/m) or newtons per coulomb (N/C). The electric field is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction at every point in space. Sources of electric fields include electric charges, electric currents, and changing magnetic fields. Understanding elektriväljades is crucial in fields such as electrical engineering, physics, and materials science.
